Blue Jays ?? What a shocker that would be.

MLBTR is reporting Ohtani to the Jays

Now it's uncertain. Does that mean we're not all meeting in Toronto for sushi?

Pretty sure Canada is done for a while with this crowd after the latest rule V party.

It's the reason Ohtani turned down the Blue Jays.

Can you blame him?

So, considering we're all Tiger fans, where does this rank against the Tigers stealing the 1987 division pennant from the Blue Jays?

MLB.TV out of market.

Bally Sports+ in market.

MLB.tv plus the MiLB TV add-on is going to be a lot more interesting for Tigers fans this year.

Thanks.  My wife bought the 1/2 season package last year for me for Father's Day, but the special meant I couldn't watch any of the games live. It was all next day & I don't wanna pay for that again.

Bally Sports Plus should show the games live.

Watching Maryland/Illinois. There's been a ton of fouls in the game, about 5 minutes left in a close game...

Benetti: I'm going to wager those aren't the last free throws in this game.

Hummel: You really go out on limbs there.

 

Great exchange.

[Edman85]

Jason had a lot of zingers last night. After Hummel was citing points per possession, one of Purdue's guys made a three. "That was three points per possession."

His zingers are so abstruse at times that he might end up leaving people behind!

Zingers were one of the things that I loved about Josh Lewin. I think that many times they flew right over Gibbys head

I remember one he had when he was the Rangers' guy, and the Tigers had Fu Te Ni. "The knights who say Fu Te Ni"

Josh Lewin has cycled through a lot a lot of jobs, which leads me to wonder whether he is a nightmare employee.

I don't know if that's true of Mets fans, and yet, he left.

When I caught a high pop foul on the fly in Washington in 2017—something you almost never see—of the four broadcasts between the two teams, Josh Lewin on Mets radio was the only one to mention it on-air.

I once dropped a pop-up at a minor league game and I could hear the announcer in the near by booth mention it.

Two hands, moran.

Technically, it’s catch it with one hand and then time the other to cup the ball and secure it in the first hand. It’s the lack of that timing that leads to most bare-handed drops.
